What means
A dental t consonant.
Its sound is /t̪/, made with the tongue at the upper teeth. Ol Onal groups consonants by their first vowel, so It sits in the I row.
Ol Onal was created to write Bhumij.
Mahendra Nath Sardar developed Ol Onal during 1981–1992 for Bhumij, spoken in Odisha, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Bhumij writing used Bengali, Devanagari, Odia and Latin scripts; the Odisha group Adim Bhumij Samaj chose his design from three proposals.
By 2022 it appeared in primers, magazines, rituals, invitations, banners and memorials.
Fonts from 2013–2014 used non-Unicode mappings, so old files may need the intended font.

1Why does show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
